Licensor may cancel Licensee’s Tickets, in whole or in part, at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever (including a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 below), and in such an event, Licensor will have no further obligation to Licensee, unless otherwise set forth herein.

Licensee and its guests shall comply with (i) the Suite Regulations established by Licensor and the Arena Owner, as the same may be modified from time to time; (ii) all NHL rules, including any code of conduct established from time to time by Licensor and/or the NHL (“Fan Code of Conduct”); (iii) the terms and conditions found on the reverse side or accompanying the delivery of Tickets (collectively, the "Suite Regulations") and all present and future laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of all duly constituted governmental authorities. Licensee is fully responsible for the character, actions, and conduct of all its guests, including its guests’ compliance with this Agreement, and each individual who holds any Ticket or parking pass issued to Licensee or otherwise admitted to the Suite with the consent of Licensee. Any violation of the Suite Regulations by Licensee or its guests shall constitute a default by Licensee of this Agreement. The Suite Regulations are incorporated herein as if fully set forth as part of this Agreement.
5.4 No Displays; No Alterations; Condition Upon Surrender. Licensee shall not be permitted to display, exhibit or construct any signage, artwork, equipment or other furnishings in or around, or make any form of alterations to, the Suite. At the end of each Game, Licensee shall surrender possession of the Suite to Licensor in its condition at the time of delivery to Licensee, normal wear and tear excepted. Licensee shall reimburse Licensor and Arena Owner, at Licensee’s expense, for the repair of any damage caused by Licensee or its guests to the Suite or other portions of the Arena. Licensee shall remove all personal property of Licensee and its guests from the Suite at the end of each Game. Any such property that remains in the Suite at the end of a Game will be deemed to be abandoned property.
5.5. Payment of Charges. Licensee further covenants and agrees to pay on a timely basis all charges and expenses relating to its use of the Suite. Licensee shall be solely responsible for the payment of charges for services furnished to Licensee and its guests by a Caterer and promptly shall pay to such Caterer all bills for food, alcoholic beverages and other items and services furnished or rendered by the Caterer, together with the applicable taxes billed, and any applicable charges for late payments.
5.6. No Outside Food or Beverages. Licensee agrees that neither it nor its guests will bring into the Arena, or possess in the Arena, food or beverages of any kind, except those provided by a Caterer, without the prior written approval of Licensor.
6. Default
6.1. Defaults by Licensee; Licensor’s Remedies. If Licensee (i) fails to pay the License Fee, or any other sums owed to Licensor, Arena Owner or a Caterer, when due and payable and such failure continues for five (5) business days after receipt of notice thereof; or (ii) Licensee defaults in the performance of any other covenant or obligation hereunder, Licensor may, at its option: (a) withhold distribution to Licensee of Tickets and/or parking passes to any Game until Licensee’s default is cured or, if such Tickets and/or parking passes have already been distributed to Licensee, deny Licensee and its guests access to the Suite until Licensee’s default is cured; and/or (b) terminate Licensee’s rights hereunder, in which case the right of Licensee to the use and possession of the Suite and all other rights or privileges of Licensee terminate without further notice, and Licensor may declare the entire unpaid balance of the License Fee, if any, immediately due and payable, whereupon Licensor shall have no further obligation of any kind to Licensee. Licensee shall remain obligated to make all payments due or becoming due under this Agreement (less any amounts actually received by Licensor from the relicensing of the Suite, if any).
6.2 Character of License. The availability of the remedies set forth in this Section, and the utilization thereof by Licensor or Arena Owner, shall not change the character of the rights or option to license created pursuant to this Agreement or be deemed to constitute this Agreement as a lease or the relationship between Licensor, Arena Owner and Licensee as a landlord-tenant relationship. It is hereby understood and agreed that this Agreement is merely a license to use the Suite and that no right, title or interest in or to the Suite or Arena is granted to or vested in or intended to be granted to or vested in the Licensee by virtue of this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges that all use of the Suite by Licensee shall be pursuant to this Agreement and that Licensee shall not by such use acquire any rights in or to the Suite or Arena by prescription, adverse possession or otherwise.
6.3. Cumulative Remedies. The foregoing remedies of Licensor shall be cumulative and not to the exclusion of any other right or remedy set forth herein or otherwise available to Licensor at law or in equity. No waiver by Licensor of any default or breach by Licensee hereunder shall be construed to be a waiver or release of any other or subsequent default or breach by Licensee hereunder, and no failure or delay by Licensor in the exercise of any remedy provided for herein shall be construed to constitute a forfeiture or waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy available to Licensor.
6.4. No Equitable Relief. Licensee shall not have the right to injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to any default by Licensor. Licensee shall be entitled to seek remedies at law with respect to any default by Licensor that remains uncured for a period of (i) thirty (30) days for a monetary default and (ii) ninety (90) days for a non-monetary default, following a notice thereof to Licensor, subject to the limitation that IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE LICENSE FEES PAID BY LICENSEE HEREUNDER FOR THE PRIOR TWELVE MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF LICENSEE’S CLAIM OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
6.5 Waivers of Trial by Jury and Class Action Status. LICENSOR AND LICENSEE HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT ALLEGED AGAINST EACH OTHER; AND LICENSOR AND LICENSEE HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO PROCEED BY WAY OF A CLASS ACTION, TO SERVE IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY FOR OTHERS, AND TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF.
6.6 Subordination. This Agreement and the rights and interests of Licensee hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to that certain NHL Team Venue Contract, by and between Licensor and Arena Owner, dated as of July 15, 2016, as it may be amended, extended or assigned from time to time (the “Arena Lease”). If for any reason the Arena Lease is terminated, (i) this Agreement shall terminate as of such termination date and (ii) Licensee shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to receive a pro-rated reimbursement of the License Fee paid by Licensee with respect to any Game for which the Suite is not available after the effective date of such termination. This Agreement and the rights and interests of Licensee hereunder shall remain in all aspects subordinate to any and all present and future agreements and rules for the NHL.
7. Damage, Destruction and Other Occurrences. In the event that the Suite or any portion thereof is destroyed, damaged, or taken by eminent domain, the Licensor may, at its sole discretion, (i) relocate Licensee to another luxury suite that, in Licensor’s sole discretion, is comparable to the Suite or (ii) cause the damage to be repaired and the Suite to be restored to a condition approved by Licensor. If the Arena Owner elects not to so relocate the Suite or cause such repairs to be made, this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon written notice to Licensee of such election and the portion of the License Fee paid by Licensee attributable to the Game for which the Suite is unusable shall be refunded to Licensee.
8. Access to the Suite by Licensor and Other Parties. Licensor, Arena Owner and the Caterer and their respective contractors and agents shall be entitled to have access to the Suite on such occasions and to such extent as they, in their respective discretion, shall deem necessary or appropriate, including for the purpose of investigating any suspected violations of the provisions of this Agreement, and neither Licensee nor its guests shall restrict or impede such access.
